Description
Some attempt to export failed. I got that message via the client and on the web interface. "Export of x failed."
This does not give any hint to the user what the reason for failing was. Hence the user cannot change anything in order to make the export work.
A normal user cannot check the logs of the nextcloud installation and is thus stuck.

Research direction
Start by tracing where the generic export-failure message is produced for the client and web interface. Determine how the failure reason can reach those messages, then verify that an unsuccessful export gives users an actionable explanation instead of only “Export of x failed.”
